thanks for that :D yeh you're right, it looks really good!! cant wait! lol :lol:

you should also do a bonus +1 each turn for holding the city centre...and also maybe where the Thames divides the city, do a link down the Thames to link 2/3/4 territories and a maybe bonus to control all 'ports'

just a thought?

i don't know if mr. benn abandoned this or not, so maybe you should contact him...


Cheers for the PM Kemmler.

As I said in my reply, I haven't abandoned my London map - I just haven't done anything on it for a while!

Don't let this stop you working on your version - I'll be keeping a beady eye on your development! :wink:

Having lived in London for a few years, I would suggest:

Three or four bridges (realistically sited, e.g. Chelsea bridge, Millennium bridge) but otherwise impassable Thames
Airports (Heathrow, City, Gatwick?) bombard each other
Rail termini territories (those containing Paddington, Waterloo, Liverpool Street, Euston, KXSP, Victoria) attack each other

For an added twist you could do all central territories have -1 each turn due to some stupid idea we could refer to as a "Congestion Charge"... :lol:

lol, Ken Livingstone...

no promises yet guys though so don't get hopeful... all I could do is the basic idea, I'm no expert at map design we'd need someone else for that...
